Synopsis

Across the West, bad men know his name. The deadliest bounty hunter on the frontier, Flintlock is armed with his grandfather's ancient Hawken muzzleloader, ready to put the blast on the face of injustice. As William and J.A. Johnstone's acclaimed saga continues, Flintlock will discover an evil too terrifying and deadly to even name.

The stench of death hangs over Happyville. When Flintlock rides into town, he sees windows caked in dust, food rotting on tables, and a forgotten corpse hanging at the gallows. The citizens of Happyville are dead in their beds, taken down by a deadly scourge, and Flintlock must stay put, or risk spreading the killer disease. His quarantine is broken by Cage Kingfisher, a mad clergyman who preaches the gospel of death. He orders his followers to round up the survivors of Happyville and bring them home to face the very plague they fled. To save them, Flintlock must send Kingfisher to Hell. But the deadly deacon has a clockwork arm that can draw a pistol faster than the eye can blink. It will take the devil to bring him down. Or the frontier legend they call Flintlock.

Quite a ramble From "cowboying" to fighting for life from outlaws to tangling with mad "engineers" and on to meeting with US Army.......more

Goodreads review by Philip Humphrey on November 10, 2020

A sci-fi western. What is so hard to believe that inventors and authors at the time being covered actually believed in The extraordinary power and possibilities of steam? Flying submarines, steam powered flight, capable of reaching the moon, all of these were believed possible, so why not heart valve......more

Goodreads review by kate on October 27, 2017

A sci-fi western. Good idea poorly executed. This is the 3rd Johnstone book I've read and I haven't liked any of them. He's just not my type of author I guess. A dnf at 40%.......more
